Cave de Tain - Crozes Hermitage - Red - 2015 - 750 ml

Share this:

Saturated,
deep black-red in color with a pure, exuberant and exciting scent mingling
notes of smoke, bramble, blackberry, blackcurrant and redcurrant. The flavors
are joyful. There’s a fruit core of singing lyricism, both vivid and fresh
without being acidulous; the wine is tannic enough to give its fruit shape and
gravitas but not roughness or austerity; and it has overtones which bring light
and shade to the wine via faint notes of smoke, of cleansing bitterness, of the
saltiness which is such a hallmark of parts of Crozes, and of the ‘stony’
flavors which lovers of terroir wine crave. A gorgeous success.
